Proxima Centauri by Digital Drew on Flickr.Via Flickr: Located slightly more than four lights-years away, the low-mass red dwarf Proxima Centauri is the nearest star other than our own Sun to Earth. Despite its proximity, it is still too dim to be viewed with the unaided eye. It is probably bound gravitationally to the Alpha Centauri binary system, located 0.23 light years from Proxima Centauri.
